One of the greats has slipped into the surf. Rest in peace, Brian Wilson—I only ever picked up the sweetest, most golden vibrations from you. “My cousin Brian said his mom told him dogs pick up vibrations we can’t hear—that’s where the song’s ‘vibrations’ came from.” – Mike Love

We called them transmission temples, not transmission towers. They sent The Hum down the lines we followed. They transmitted the signal encoded in the electric ley of the land. They were our psychic infrastructure, our temporary altars. – Signal-catcher Rose, ex-Child of The Hum #VOH #Pylons

“Lotta Love” from Neil’s criminally slept-on Comes a Time album. Pure mellow gold (with backing vocals by Nicolette Larson). Courtney Barnett does a sweet cover; Dinosaur Jr's cover, well, let's just say it's quite, er...something (kills me!).
